I did not know this, Indonesia is the world's largest muslim majority country? Time for another deep dive.
You want a real bad one? Read into what Indonesia is doing (with tacit support and direct arming from the west) to the Papuans
No thanks, I already suffer from depression
Looks like the papuans are fighting against the corrupt gov, but it says the US aided Indonesia until '92?
I don't know anything about this conflict, thanks
Excellent documentary about the legacy of violence in Indonesia https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2375605/?ref_=ext_shr
Oh I watched that, that's actually the first time I learned anything about indonesia, that there was a coup by gangsters. What a startling and troubling doc. And that crazy scene at the end where one of the guys starts to crack while they're making a doc of their crimes? Yeawow.
Yes, Indonesia has been the world's largest muslim country for well over a decade.
EDIT
Thank you, Sporcle
